Rambling in a worried hope that something good might come out.
Off hand or something.
To seek life
To seek enlightenment
To seek dreams and hopes and raptures and delights
While wandering in circles over and over and over and over....
And for what? For nothing and nothing and nothing and nothing
No Thing. To hope for the freedom that comes with it
The unobtainable freedom that is shunned and discouraged by the false freedom of our land of freedom
The cost is too high.
To leave and never return
The ideal.
No Ideal. No hope. No rest. No mind. No freedom. No future.
The cries rise from the the asphalt rivers like the cries of alley cats
Abandoned by their masters after they have
Outlasted their usefulness
While their masters have outlasted their usefulness.
The folly and fallacy of usefulness dragging them down to the beds of the sea
A watery grave, lost, forgotten, never to be seen again...
But to Rise!
To turn the tide!
To forsake the false usefulness!
And seek the life of lives worth living!
Seeking and hoping and searching and questioning....
Only to find false hopes and false starts and false answers
And a million more questions to replace the originals
Gaining hope in a dark basement
Only to lose hope in the spring sun
Always asking...
Why? Where? When? What? Who? How?
Echoes fire the questions back
In a mocking tone.
Rambling in a worried hope that something good might come out
Another false hope...

I was hoping this would be about P-Lights, but instead I'll have to go back to urinating in the dark.

"Off hand or something."
You're a terrible writer...or something.
